Configuring the NetApp RCU actor adapter

You can add an adapter in BMC Atrium Orchestrator Grid Manager by defining a configuration. This configuration provides information about how to interact with the NetApp Rapid Cloning Utility (RCU) application. You can add multiple adapters with the same adapter type to allow for different configuration properties. Each adapter must have a unique name.

To configure the actor adapter

1. Log on to Grid Manager.
2. To access the adapters page, click the Manage tab, and then click the Adapters tab.
3. On the Adapters in the Repository list, select the bmc-adapter-netapp-rcu-actor check box.
4. To include the adapter in the Adapters on Grid list, click Add to Grid.
5. Click Configure corresponding to the newly added adapter.
6. On the Add an Adapter Configuration page, perform the following steps to specify the properties for the new adapter:

   1. Enter a name for the adapter.

      Tip

      Use NetAppRCUActor as the adapter name, which is the default adapter name used by the processes in the AO-AD-NetApp_Rapid_Cloning_Utility module.

   2. Enter a description for the adapter.
   3. Under Properties, enter the adapter configuration properties in an XML format, including all the required elements as indicated in the following table.
       The Properties text box must contain a valid XML configuration node for the adapter, as shown in Sample XML template for configuring the actor adapter using a plain password and Sample XML template for configuring the actor adapter using an encrypted Base64 password. These samples show all the possible elements. If the default value for a non-required element is acceptable, omit the element. Do not include any empty elements.
   4. Click OK.
       A confirmation message is displayed on the Adapters page when the changes are saved.

The following table describes the configuration elements for the actor adapter:
